Now here’s one Russian motorist who should be commended not only for being prepared (as in leaving a secure distance from the car in front) and for paying attention to what’s going on behind him/her on the road but also for taking swift action once trouble was detected.
So here’s what happened: while waiting a stop light, the driver saw a truck coming from behind at a fast speed with no intention of stopping so the motorist quickly put the car in gear and moved a few feet to the right without touching the vehicle on the other lane.
Seconds later, we see the truck smashing into the vehicle in front of the camera-equipped car.
The video poster says that the truck’s brakes had failed noting that nobody was physically hurt.
Watch the accident in the video that follows below.
